Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or pollock)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 units large eggs
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dill pickles, finely diced
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons hot sauce (such as sriracha)
- 1 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 units hamburger buns
- 4 units lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Set up three bowls for breading the fish. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, lightly beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Dredge each fillet in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Repeat for all fillets and set them aside on a plate.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
To prepare the spicy tartar sauce, mix mayonnaise, diced dill pickles, lemon juice, hot sauce, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Stir until fully combined.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a dry skillet or toaster for added texture, if desired.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading a generous amount of spicy tartar sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a fried fish fillet, a slice of cheddar cheese (if using), and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Fish O Fillet Sandwich with a Spicy Tartar Sauce!
